New Google Analytics code in Header

[graphicz]

The latest info I can find on the new analytics code is 2007. My client's SEO wants the new code in the header rather than before the </body> tag where version 10 still puts it.

The existing analytics code is built into Actinic. It is slightly modified from the original code to track receipt.html.

<script type="text/javascript">
          var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
          document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
      </script>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      if (typeof(_gat) == 'object')
          {
          var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxxx-1");
          pageTracker._initData();
          pageTracker._trackPageview(<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22">"/receipt.html"</actinic:block>);
          }
      </script>

Here is the new code:

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-xxxxxxx-1']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>

Do I put the track page view detail here?:

_gaq.push(['_trackPageview','<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22">"/receipt.html"</actinic:block>']);

Thank you for your help. If I have missed the solution elsewhere please point me to it. Thanks.

This does seem to be the correct code for the new synchronous Google analytics code in the header:

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', '<actinic:variable name="GoogleAnalyticsNumber" />']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview','<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22">/receipt.html</actinic:block>']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>

Revised with Norman's correction from '.google-analytics.com/ga.js' to '.google-analytics.com/ga' + '.' + 'js'

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', '<actinic:variable name="GoogleAnalyticsNumber" />']);
  _gaq.push(['_trackPageview','<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Receipt%22">/receipt.html</actinic:block>']);

  (function() {
    var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga' + '.' + 'js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();
